Re: [gdm-list] gdm-list Digest, Vol 101, Issue 2

["John D. Hendrickson and Sara Darnell" <johnandsara2 cox net>]

in
      http://sourceforge.net/projects/xdm-options/

it was shown that for X11R6 or X.org

-nolisten tcp

applies to your LOCAL tcp but not remote tcp: that's left open.

there are many multi-head questions already asked and answered in gdm-list


Q: so on X server side you have mutliple heads.  but do you wish each 
head to display a separate host (xclient) or all displays tied 
together (a window manager that tiles one client across heads) ?
